need more rear tire width

I'm on 275s on the back on stock rims.

I'm still spinning too much for my liking. Straight line is ok, but I want this car to plant more on lower speed corners with lots of throttle.

Anyone care to chime in on my options?

M156 and LS7
aggressive alignment usually means more negative camber, that improves corning, but less contact to the road when you drive on straight line, won't give you better grip from dig, I will suggest softer tire compond or even R compound (but they need temperature to work), drop front ride height more while keeping rear height

The car is too light in the a**, more weight could solve this issue.
But weight also slows you done. Sticky tires, could be the answer.

An LSD will solve your problem.

Live with it!

Too much torque, too much down low, nothing really to do but feather the throttle out of the hole.

When i drove at Mt. Tremblant with the C63, it all boils down to your steering angle and throttle input. The instructors explained very well the balancing act that has to be done and when driven this way, the C63 had impressive cornering speeds. Overwhelm the tires and it is very slow and fish-tailing all over the place. Whether the SLS or C63, it is all the same priniciple.
